Tips & Advice

Do industrial cleaners offer hazardous material cleanup?

Not all industrial cleaners offer hazardous material cleanup; it is up to each company to determine the depth of their cleaning services. For those that do offer it, they must have the proper certifications and permits for handling hazardous materials.

What type of training should industrial cleaners have?

Industrial cleaners must know and work within proper OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health) codes and guidelines. Different types of jobs can require more formal training, but basic training includes compliance and safety regulations. Advanced industrial cleaners might need advanced training for areas like hazardous waste cleanups, chemical spills, and crime-scene cleaning.

What is construction cleanup?

Construction site cleanup is different from residential and commercial cleanup in that it is generally more labor intensive. Large amounts of waste and materials can be left behind during construction, which is not always removed by the crew. Construction cleanup workers not only remove the waste, they also clean and polish the new structure to make it presentable to the buyer or owner. Using construction cleanup services is very common in new housing construction when preparing the house for sale.

How much do industrial cleaning services cost?

There are many variables in determining industrial cleaning service costs, but size is usually the main factor,, as some charge by the job or the square foot. Frequency (i.e., a one-off or a regularly scheduled job) can be another factor. If you are setting up a recurring cleaning schedule, you might be able to get a price break. The amount of labor needed and the provider’s hourly rates are yet another major factor in cost. All of above are determined by the market rates in your area.
